Keyboards don't count; they're made for being handled with both hands. When I
play the Civilization series games (the only computer games I play much these
days), I my right hand is switching 'tween the numeric keypad and the mouse,
whereas my left hoovers around the alphanumeric keypad, ready to unleash all
hell on the poor AIs via various key-combo commands. Interstingly, I end turns
buy clicking on the numeric Enter with my right little finger, whereas my
little brother clicks on space with either thumb.
